WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington (R-TX) recently appeared on Fox News Radio to discuss various aspects of President Biden's fiscal policies and their impact on the nation. During the interview, Chairman Arrington criticized Biden's spending habits, stating, “He's doubling down on the spending, he proposes the highest levels of spending, borrowing, and taxing in the history of our country.”

Chairman Arrington also expressed concerns about President Biden's climate policies, highlighting their potential negative effects on the economy. He mentioned, “the obsession with climate and green New Deal policies that are not only part of what will bankrupt this country, but will also hand the keys to energy dominance to the likes of China and Russia.”

Reflecting on the accomplishments of House Republicans, Chairman Arrington emphasized the positive impact of having Republican leadership in the House. He noted, “Having Republican leadership and a majority in the House has made a difference. And we've mitigated some damage just like we did when we negotiated during the debt ceiling for lower spending amounts on the discretionary side year over year.”

Regarding the House Republicans' budget resolution titled "Reverse the Curse," Chairman Arrington explained, “We just passed a balanced budget that reduces the debt, it balances, and grows the economy by 10 percent, reducing our debt to GDP by 40 points.” He warned about the consequences of not addressing the debt, stating, “If we don't do that, not only will we undermine the greatest economy in the world and our kids’ opportunities, but we will jeopardize America's leadership and our children's future in this great country.”

Chairman Arrington's insights shed light on the ongoing discussions surrounding fiscal policies and the potential implications for the nation's economy and future.
